Quick Wear: Under the Skirt, All Beings Are Equal

Chapter 426: The Traitor: Bright Moon, Drinking Alone in the Autumn

As the night was getting darker, Tang Ran originally wanted to leave the palace, but Princess Sixteen kept pulling at his clothes and refused to let go, no matter how much Tang Ran tried to persuade her. Tang Ran had no choice but to play with her for a while.

Li Jinyu couldn't fall asleep thinking about the little girl whose eyes turned red during the day. She searched her palace for a long time and found some treasures from her youth. She prepared to go to the Sixteenth Princess's bedroom to find her.

Who could have thought that Princess Sixteen was missing.

The palace maids and nannies knelt on the ground, kowtowing and begging for mercy.

They didn't know where the little princess had gone in the middle of the night. Now the third princess came and found that the little princess was missing. No matter what, it was their fault for not taking good care of the princess.

Li Jinyu's pretty face turned cold, and she dropped her teacup to the ground. She said in a cold voice: "If anything happens to Xiao Shiliu, you won't even want your heads anymore."

"This slave knows that I was wrong."

The palace maids did not dare to beg for mercy and fell to the ground trembling. They were newly transferred to take care of the little princess.

The little princess had a good temper. She never beat or scolded her servants and often pestered them to play with her. She was much better than those concubines who acted like their masters.

Although they were worried about being punished, they were now more worried about the safety of the little princess.

Li Jinyu said angrily: "Why are you still standing here? Go find it quickly."

Sang'er saw Li Jinyu's face turn pale and her body was shaky, so he hurried forward and comforted her, "Princess, maybe the Sixteenth Princess was too playful and avoided the palace servants and ran away. You are just getting better, how could you withstand such a torment?"

Li Jinyu's face was bitter, and she held Sang'er tightly with her hands. "I don't blame Xiao Shiliu for being naughty. I'm just worried. Too many people have died in the palace for unknown reasons. Not to mention the palace maids and eunuchs, even princes and grandchildren have died suddenly, and there are many cases where the murderer cannot be found."

Besides, Xiao Shiliu is still so young. What would she do if some ignorant ghost bumped into her?

The more Li Jinyu thought about it, the more worried he became, but he didn't dare to make a big deal out of it.

If this matter were to be brought to the attention of the Empress and the Emperor, Little Sixteen would inevitably be punished.

She suddenly remembered what happened during the day and gritted her teeth and said, "Sang'er, go check now to see if the Prime Minister has entered the palace today."

Sang'er usually got along well with the people in each palace, so he soon found out.

"Sister Sang'er, when I was running errands for the master today, I happened to see the Prime Minister and Lord Li together. As for what they talked about, I was too far away and didn't hear it clearly."

Sang'er's face lit up with joy, and he said, "Then do you know when the Prime Minister will leave the palace?"

The eunuch, who was a little overweight, shook his head.

Because of the name of the shadow man in the tree, they dared not spy on the whereabouts of the prime minister, nor did they know whether the prime minister had left the palace.

The last person who dared to do this was beaten to death by the prime minister.

In the eyes of some palace people, the prime minister is much more terrifying than the masters in the palace.

After all, the masters in the palace cannot take the lives of their servants at will, nor can they beat or scold them at will. Everything must be based on solid evidence.

If someone is wrongly accused, they can report it to the Queen Mother, who will investigate the matter thoroughly and handle it impartially.

But the prime minister doesn't care whether you are wronged or not, nor does he care who should handle these matters.

No matter what your background is, I will beat you to death.

Not only will they beat you to death, but your family will also be implicated.

After Li Jinyu knew about it, she secretly looked for Princess Sixteen, but she was slightly relieved.

No matter how cruel Tang Ran is, he would never hurt Xiao Shiliu.

She really didn't want Xiao Shiliu to have too much contact with Tang Ran. No matter if they were enemies who hated Tang Ran or people who wanted to get close to Tang Ran, they all had ulterior motives and would inevitably target the inexperienced Xiao Shiliu.

Li Jinyu was thinking about something and unknowingly came to a slightly desolate place.

This place is relatively close to the cold palace, and few people come here during the day, let alone at night.

Just as she was about to turn around and leave, she heard a familiar voice, and there was another person who made her grit her teeth and wanted to eat his flesh and drink his blood in her dreams.

She took a deep breath and felt as if someone had reached into her hand and stirred her internal organs. The pain made her spit out blood. She held on tightly to the stone beside her with her pale hands to avoid falling down.

Little Sixteen!

Why don't you listen to your third sister?

She suddenly felt sad and tears fell uncontrollably. Her beloved sister saw with her own eyes how Tang Ran treated her, and she had clearly promised her that day that she would not have any contact with Tang Ran anymore.

But she ran out to see Tang Ran late at night, regardless of her own safety.

Li Jinyu thought, Tang Ran is the best at making children happy. No matter which child in the palace, when they were sixteen years old, they all liked to play with Tang Ran.

Xiao Shiliu is naive and ignorant, so that must be Tang Ran’s problem.

It must be Tang Ran who taught Xiao Shiliu bad things, which is why Xiao Shiliu doesn't know the rules.

Li Jinyu obviously hated Tang Ran in her heart, but looking at the smile on her sister's face, she was still hesitant about whether to go out.

She felt like a rat in a gutter, secretly watching the smile on Princess Sixteen's face. It was so pure and flawless, just like the fragrant white pear blossoms in April.

She was suddenly dazed and her eyes could not help but fall on the elegant figure next to her.
